Supreme Court upholds law that bans alleged domestic violence abusers from having guns WFTV [Video]

WASHINGTON D.C. — Another crucial gun ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court Friday as justices upheld a law that bans domestic violence abusers from having guns.

This was the first major Second Amendment ruling by Supreme Court Justices since they expanded gun rights in 2022.

“Obviously extremely relieved that the justices listened to survivors like me,” said Kate Ranta, domestic violence survivor.

Kate Ranta was shot and almost killed by her husband more than a decade ago. She said she’s grateful the Supreme Court upheld a federal 1994 law that bans anyone who has been the subject of a domestic violence restraining order from having a gun.

Gun rights groups challenged the law arguing that it violates the Second Amendment. Their case stems from Texas where Zackey Rahimi was accused of hitting his girlfriend during an argument in a parking lot and threatening her with his gun.
